I'm a huge fan of the original comics. When I heard the creators equating the threat of the Cold War with White Supremacy, I figured this show wasn't for me. Is it any good?

People are freaking out about SJW politics being in this show as if Alan Moore wasn’t the biggest left wing nut job and the original Watchmen run didn’t demonize right wing conservatives.
I’ve enjoyed the shite out of the show so far, granted I’m one episode behind. But the KKK/white supremacy stuff doesn’t bother me given the context of the universe they’re set in; this isn’t our same reality but one where Nixon was president for multiple terms and now Robert Redford is president. Color me not shocked that white people in this universe aren’t too thrilled with going from Nixon world to Veidt orchestrating “omg a giant inter dimensional squid alien killed millions, Robert Redford save us with some heavy left wing peace and love”. The show isnt terribly kind to left wing ideas either as they’re obviously pretty ineffective and do a shite job keeping the peace
